Nestle recalls products after horse meat discovery

Ive posted a couple threads about this horsemeat scandal, and now we have a new twist food giant Nestle has recalled two chilled pasta products,
Buitoni Beef Ravioli and Beef Tortellini, from store shelves in Italy and Spain.

They have also suspended deliveries of all its products from German beef supplied by H.J. Schypke..

Ok there saying its only trace amounts again,but last time it was trace amounts then 60 % then 80% then 100% horsemeat and then it was donkey..

I cant believe a company as big as Nestle can let horsemeat get in their products and I dont believe for one second they didnt know it was there.. I
mean wouldnt a company this size do its own independent testing.

I know there is alot of Nestle products in the US and Im just curious how much donkeymeat has made its way onto americans plates..

Hss it been confirmed that either Nestle or Burger King tainted meats havnt made there way to the US

Nestle is suspending deliveries of all its products that include beef from a German supplier because "traces of horse DNA" were found in the meat,
the Swiss-based food giant said on its website Monday.

Nestle also is recalling two chilled pasta products, Buitoni Beef Ravioli and Beef Tortellini, from store shelves in Italy and Spain, the news release
said. A lasagna product sold to French catering businesses will also be recalled

This seems quite ironic since Americans generally do not eat horse. In fact, horse meat has not been consumed in the U.S. in any regular way for a
very long time. At the end of the Second World War, when beef was scarce, Americans resorted to horsemeat and Republicans ran against “Horsemeat
Harry” Truman. Again in the early 1970s, when beef prices skyrocketed under the Nixon administration, people tried horsemeat, a trend illustrated
on an episode of “All in the Family.”

I don't remember that particular "All in the Family" episode, nor people trying horsemeat during the Nixon administration, although I was in my
early 20s then....

Whats WITH all the horsemeat lately? It makes me wonder,has this not been going on for quite a while before? How is it that companies who are used to
working with beef,not notice a difference-im asking because idk what horsemeat looks like,is it difficult to distinguish from beef,in appearance and
texture? And what of the horses,where do the suppliers to these companies get such a lot of horses for slaughter nowadays? I had horsemeat jerky once
as a child,it was a very dark,almost black meat.Well,in jerky form,i would'nt know how it looks raw.

Well in all the threads I have consistently talked about the issue being the deceit. People should care and be pissed. What kind of precedent does it
set for further deception if the public doesn't react with strong enough opposition. The meat is trivial to the matter.

Thanks animal whisperer for that insight. Please inform the scientists. They keep wasting time on that.

Fair enough. I realize animal rights activists like to say that they are sentient in that they have feelings. I was referring to the sentient in the
fact that they are not conscious. A sentient being is aware of oneself, thus is conscious of self existence, this is something unique to humans.
Humans, in this context, are "sentient" beings (aware of their own existence). Animals are not.
